    Finally got one !!! But Strange pleat on my new Black watch

    Ok so after half a year of looking i fined a Ex army black watch thats a 34 36 its ace and 2kg and looks better then i could have ever hoped for . turns out its 32 34 so to small . So its up for sale in the for sale section now . I get back on to the MOD and make a fuss so they sort me out a new kilt this is a 36 it fits its not as nice as the one i now have to sell if you look at the tartan its far nicer on the 1st one with the blue and green standing out better . The new one is all so a lighter sitll nice and coming in at 1.7kg so im still happy with it but it has some funny looking pleats they are not box pleat and they are not what i call normal pleats like the first one and all my others . It starts as a normal pleat but then has a fold at the end .
    It has a real nice swing to it i have to say better than the others i think and that’s just trying it on in the house . however it does have some hols in the inner apron so im not sure how to fix them .
    Any way her it is next to the 1st one and some picks of the funny looking pleats .

    This is the first one deep thick pleats
    This is the new one


    I don’t hate it its just a bit like the 2 strap and 3 strap thing its not what im used to so it looks a bit strange to me . it has a real nice swish to it a little better the others i think .
